I am trying to copy information from one Database to another. Each of the databases reside on a different server.
My question is
1. How can I use the DSN name in a stored procedure?
2. Do I need to use dynamic SQL?
3. Any other ideas of how to implement this?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a database on sqlserver 2000 which contains some tables which receive Create/Read/Update statements from applications, and +-5 tables which contain a sort of read-only data: the applications are only reading from these tables.
Sometimes these 5 tables need to be updated with new data. Currently I am doing this as follows:
Execute a long-running operation (e.g. 1 week), which will add new data, against a Test-database (which is a restore from a backup of the original database)
Some people do some checks to see if the new data in the Test-database is correct
If (2) is OK, the only thing which needs to be done is copying the data of the 5 tables in testdatabase to the 5 tables of the production-database.For (3), I currently use a DTS-package which consists of a "Copy SQL Server Objects"-task. This task is configured to copy the 5 tables (objects) from testdatabase to productiondatabase. The data in these 5 tables is around 20GB, and this task takes a lot of time compared to a backup/restore of the same size of data. I already tried to speed it up by creating different filegroups and wanted to restore only 1 filegroup but you can read here that making a filegroup backup on a testdatabase and trying to restore it on a production database won't work. Is there some other way to speed this up? Is my current way of working good practice?
Thx!
Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases
"
Display the Select Objects to Transfer dialog box, where you can specify both objects and data to copy, if both the data source and destination are Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, constraints, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes. You can transfer objects only between multiple instances of SQL Server version 7.0, from an instance of SQL Server 7.0 to an instance of SQL Server 2000, and between multiple instances of SQL Server 2000.
"
can I apply "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases"
to run in two different sqlserver 2000 ( not an instance ) . what I mean is I have two different sql servers located in two different locations( I am not using an instance installation) can I still run the copy and get an identical database in both servers.
Q2. if I have two sql server 2000 with different collations (one is binary and the other is the default) will I be able to run the copy wizard and still have an identical copy of sql server in both servers.
I personally tried to run the copy wizard and IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME and I really do not know the reason.
Thanks for your input.

I am attempting to use the copy wizard to copy databases from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 R2 w/ FP1.
The copy fails with a login failure to SQL Server 2005. I have a user id & password under Windows for both servers. I have a user id and password under SQL security with the called for admin security rights.
The 2005 server has two instances, 20 databases, two dozen maintenance plans, and over a hundred users. I really would like to use the utility so I don't have to recreate everything manually.

Hi,
Maybe a stupid question, but I'm trying to copy some databases from one
server to another. The copy databases wizard says the job is successful
and I can see that the job has been done on the remote server. But the
copied databases are not there. What do I do?
Hi,
I am preparing to move from sql7 to sql2000 and and considering the copy database wizard to move the databases. The thing that I am concerned with is this passage from BOL
"A database with the identical name on both source and destination servers cannot be moved or copied"
This to me says that the database name cannot be the same on source and destination servers. Yet, you would want the database name to be the same from an application point of view (developers get real nasty when you change database information on them).
Does this mean I cannot use the copy database wizard? Must I use sp_attatch_db?
Thanks in advance
Hi All,
I am new to sql server and the database concepts and just started learning.
I want to copy a database and local package from a old sql server to a new server.
can anybody guide me with the steps? I am very new to this field so if you could give me detailed steps
i would very much appreciate it.
thanks in advance,
Could anyone possibly help me out with an issue I am having...
I need to copy all my SQL2005 databases from Server1 to Server2. How can I, using SSIS, copy all the databases and not just 1 specific one (database transfer task)???
My actual task is much deeper than this, but this is the main problem I seem to be encountering and I cannot find this anywhere on the web...
Over and above the what I have mentioned, is there a way to also specify a name of the target DB the copy will go through to?
e.g. Server 1 has 3 instances, each one with a different copy of the same DB.
I would like to copy all 3 copies to Server 2 running 1 SQL instance, but to target DB's like DB_dev, DB_prod and DB_test.
The latter section is not so crucial at the moment, but the first part is really an issues I am struggling with at the moment...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking You in advance!!!!!
Hello and thanks in advance for help,
I have configured several jobs in the SQL Server Agent which do a copy of databases from a cluster of SQL 2005 to another SQL 2005 server. I did these from the "Copy Dabatase Wizard".

I need to learn how to move or copy a couple of tables from one database to another. The tables are defined but contain no data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find the best way to copy specific tables from one databaseto another when the source and target database names are not always thesame. Can you use variables to specify (or prompt the user) to providesource and target databases? The target database will exist with the thesame tables as the source. The tables to copy will always be the same.Example:UserA wants to copy 10 tables from Data1 to Data2UserB wants to copy 10 tables from Data4 to Data5I'm sure a script can do this in Query Analyzer but is there a more userfriendly method when the user has ony standard SQL tools?Thanks in advance.

Two Windows 2003 server,one with SQL 2005 server,another with SQL Express.Is it possible to copy databases from SQL 2005 to SQL Express?Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was contacted by the SAN team to test backup/restore of larger databases using a split-mirror backup (BCV) or clone that is taken from production db server and copied to another sql box. They want to use this process once a week. I see the mounted drives with the data/log files. All looks good. Initially I attempted to attach the databases and received (Unable to open the physical file db.mdf Operating System Error 5 Access is denied). I manually granting SQLServerMSSQLUser$<computer_name>$<instance_name> on all of the physical files 20 total. That worked.
Since this will be weekly, the SAN team performed the copy again and now none of the databases can communicate with the newly copied files. NTFS permissions need to be set again. I'm getting (Operating System error 21: the device is not ready). Is there something that I'm missing in this process how the vendor BCV clones the data and SQL communicates with the copied files as I was thinking it would be more automated process?
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
Hi,I have(had) an old Win2k Server server with about 30 web site databases(SQL 2000) that just went under due to hardware problems. Thankfully, Ihave backups of all the databases plus the MDF and LDF files from thehard drive.I want to move all of these sites and their data to a newer server(Win2003) running SQL2000.What's the best way to copy the database from the old server hard drive(now mounted as an extrnal drive to a local machine; I'm currentlyFTPing all of the web site directories from it to the new server)?Just upload the original data to the new server and then mount the MDFand LDF files within the new SQL server? Or do I restore the backupfiles in the new SQL2000?All of my previous data migrations have been DTS operations from onelive server to another, so no experience with either of the abovescenarios. I'll certainly have a lot more experience at one of them bythe time this weekend is through.Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.

Hi!
What is the best way to copy data from SQL server to Access database located on differet machines?
Thank you,

Hello,
there is a database with an table x and I want a copy of that in my testdatabase.
I am pretty sure, that I have done that the whole last week, but it's not working anymore.
I thinkt, that last time I used a statement like that to copy the table with structure and all.
insert into dbtest.dbo.x select * from db.dbo.x
Today it's only telling me, that the destinationtabel x is not present.
The table has about 100 fields and I swear, I didnt create it by hand in the testdatabase, I'm definitely too lazy for that.
I can't use the enterprise manager, I only can use sql.
There are still tables in my testdatabase, I copied last week. So what is wrong with my insert into?
All,
Does anyone have amethod for copying db(all tables, procs etc..) but without the data. Scripting is not feasible because of number of objects constraints ..etc...
any help would be appreciated
thanks,
JB

I am trying to copy item names from one database to another if they share the same code number.
e.g.
UPDATE TABLE1
SET NAME = DB2.TABLE2.NAME
WHERE CODE = DB2.TABLE2.CODE
I dont know how to specify the second db as using a '.' here doesnt seem to work. I have also tried '..' and DB2.dbo.TABLE2 but get the same error - 'The column prefix 'Train_DB_FinancialsProd.dbo.ITEM_DEFINITIONS' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.'
I have checked that the spelling is ok so not sure why it doesnt work.
I have also tried using a temp db in between to copy the values across then try to update from the temp table but couldnt make that work either. e.g.
create table #tdhname
(
code char(50),
name char(100)
)
INSERT INTO #tdhname (code,name)
select distinct code,name from Train_DB_FinancialsProd..item_definitions tritm
where code = tritm.code
and tritm.ittyp_refno = 241
update pharmacy_items
set name = #tdhname.name <----- THIS DOESNT WORK
where #tdhname.code = code
Thanks!
